Step 9: Dip edges (optional)

Step 10: Store and Serve

Your Snickers bars will keep for quite a while if frozen - just layer them between waxed paper in a sealed plastic container. Beware storing them at...

Snickers candy bars are awesome, but I wanted to try making them at home without all the stabilizers and additives necessary for a mass-market, shelf-stable candy bar*. This recipe is super-easy, and makes a full pan of delicious homemade Snickers candy bars!

Beware, they're extremely good, and as I said, the recipe makes LOTS. Be sure to have a crowd to eat these treats, or the self-control to put them in the freezer for longer-term storage! My testers report that these candy bars taste even better frozen.

*Yes, I know this version still uses ingredients that contain some stabilizers and additives - they make it taste most like a true Snickers bar. Feel free to substitute homemade peanut butter, marshmallows, etc to fit your preferences.

I'm going to making these for a friend but I have to send them to him. Has anyone sent something like this and how did you do it? It's going from Oregon to Cali I think the weather should be cold enough to send just fine now. Any advice is appreciated

I didn't buy peanuts. I just realized you need peanut butter. Well... Im not allergic to peanuts, but I was thinking of making this for new years (yea, its in quite a while) and one of my cousins is allergic that I would see there.

$2.50 for a Snickers bar? That seems really high. I can usually find the King Size candy bars for about $1.50 or less where I live, and the regular sizes are often on sale for about $0.50.

So, if a regular candy bar is approximately 1 inch wide and 4.3 inches long, you could get about 36 regular sized bars in the pan, plus the extra that was cut off to make the nice square edges. That would cost me about $18 to buy, thus the homemade snickers would be a slightly better price.

I assume, based on the large difference in the cost of the candy bar alone (and the fact that I can get 2 cups of chocolate chips for about $1 as opposed to $5), that I can get the raw ingredients for some price less than what was posted, and would therefore be an even better deal.

Don't know where y'all get your snickers, but a regular snickers bar usually costs between $0.20 and $0.50 each at grocery stores (usually 3 per dollar). I might be able to understand $2.50 inside Disney World or at the movie theater.

I thought these looked interesting and yummy, I had most of the stuff and had something to go to tonight so decided to make them. It was fun, it was messy and I thought I'd never finish!! I didn't have time to get them really frozen before cutting so they didn't turn out as nice as the pictured ones but everyone raved over them so it was a success. I'm not sure I'll ever do it again but my hats off to you who come up with these recipes and then all the pictures!
